One big difference is that so far there's no male cast member in sight,but then again no males were featured in the early promo of Hanasaku Iroha either.

Yeah, the character design itself isn't bad by any means, I'm quite fond of it myself, but... I can only see this as yet another occurrence of Hidari designs losing their actual 'Hidari touch'. A bit of a shame, really.
